Fox News: Palin Is Smart and the Left Wing Media Is 'Terrified'

Fox News is setting the record straight after an unnamed Republican, supposedly close to Roger Ailes, quoted the conservative cable news boss as saying Palin is "stupid." Fox News issued as a statement to the New York Times saying Roger Ailes both admires Palin and thinks she is smart. Palin is one of the contributors at Ailes top-rated news channel and he has recently defended her in the news against an attack by MSNBC host Chris Matthews.

The statement went on to say that while the left-wing media tries to destroy Palin, she remains standing. Fox noted the media is both terrified and threatened by her. It promised once Ailes figured out who leaked the fake quote, they would no longer be part of Ailes inner circle.
